System for spectrometry

Abstract

A system for spectrometry includes an input device, a measuring device with a spectrophotometer, a calculating device and an output device for outputting results of calculations by the calculating device. The input device allows a user to input target wavelengths at which spectrometric measurements are to be carried out, character arrays representing variables assigned to measured values which are to be stored, and character arrays representing calculation formulas created according to specified rules. The measuring device serves to measure a sample spectrometrically with the spectrophotometer to obtain measured values at the inputted target wavelengths. The calculating device analyzes the character arrays representing the calculating formulas and carries out calculations of the calculating formulas by replacing any of the character arrays representing the variables, if contained in the calculating formulas, each by corresponding one of the measured values.

What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A system for spectrometry comprising: 
       an input device for allowing a user to input target wavelengths at which spectrometric measurements are carried out, character arrays representing variables assigned to measured values, and character arrays representing calculation formulas created according to specified rules;  
       a measuring device for spectrometrically measuring a sample with a spectrophotometer to thereby obtain measured values at said target wavelengths;  
       a calculating device for analyzing the character arrays representing said calculating formulas and carrying out calculations of said calculating formulas by replacing any of the character arrays representing said variable, if contained in said calculating formulas, each by corresponding one of said measured values; and  
       an output device for outputting results of said calculations;  
       wherein said input device further allows the user to input character arrays representing said measured values and a character array representing a judgment formula which includes the character arrays representing said measured values, wherein said calculating device further obtains a judgment result by using said judgment formula by replacing any of the character arrays representing said measured values, if contained in said judgment formula, each by corresponding one of said measured values, and wherein said output device further outputs said judgment result.  
     
     
       2. The system of  claim 1  wherein said judgment formula further includes logical operations.
